Heh, I want a Mosin too, but I'm afraid to buy one cause I know that I'll keep buying more and more considering how cheap they are.
Your Chinese SKS is rather rare then, not so many of the original mil-surp ones made it in country, and many that did got "sporterized" because people thought they were nothing special with all the Norincos on the market alongside them.
The recent WASR's have gone up immensity in quality for the most part, it was for a few years that they were hit and miss, although with a good one, a $300 AK is gonna function the same as a $1000 AK.
Those little com-bloc pistols have been flooding the country lately, never had the pleasure of firing one though.
